Roberto Firmino

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If any we need more quality and not quantity in the AM department.

[addyz 7]

No more brazilians ffs.

Who cares about what nationality they are? That's like doing a multiple choice test and thinking 'hmm I've chosen a lot of B's, better chose and A, C, or D'

Not as simple as that. Having too many players from one country CAN affect the locker room for better or worse.

What like the locker problems Barca or Real Madrid have?..

If you cared to read, I didn't say it WILL create problems, I said it CAN. You are naive if you think make-up of the team is not a potential problem.

If even Coutinho, Filipe Luis and Miranda, that every press in Brazil wanted in the World Cup were ignored, imagine Firmino? Big Phil is really stubborn. He should at least have been tested.

What is Firmino's image in Brazil mate? What is press/people thinking about him?

Is he seen as a one season wonder, or this season is something that everybody was expecting to happen at some time?

Back in his Figueirense days - was he some sort of wonderkid? Was anybody expecting that, at some time, Chelsea, Liverpool, Dortmund will enquire for him?

To me he looks like a quality player and, from what I've seen this season, he is the type of player Mourinho enjoys working with - good work-rate, stamina and he always tracks back.

Okay my bad..but any player you sign CAN cause problems. I just don't see how signing another Brazilian can cause more of a problem than singing any other player from a different country. What problems were you thinking of?

Most of the brazilians doesn't know him... For those who do, he's someone that had the same situation as David Luiz, Hulk, Fernandinho, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis: A player that didn't made big at his early days in Brazil and ended evolving and showing his best qualities in Europe.

For what i remember, he was a good solid player, but nothing "showy". Now i think we see him as a really skillfull good player with a good margin to growth... A player for the future, for the NT.

[LAM09 7,043]

Looks like we are after him now. I think he would be a good addition to the team having watched him several times this season, but I am not sure we need him. We need someone who is more inclined to setting up goals, rather than scoring them.

Wait, did I read this right? We need someone who is more inclined to set up goals rather than score them!!!!

I understand we need a number 10 who is magical on the ball and can put goals on a plate... which I personally don't think we have atm.. but.. we need players who can bang goals in! Diego Costa is great but we need another striker wether it be Lukaku or a fella like this. I'm sick of seeing us linked to nifty little players like Aguero omly to see us buy the big name and then see the nifty player turn world class whilst we are stuck with a name. Who knows.. this guy could be the nifty player who someone else buys and turns into a beast! He looks really talented!

Wait .. is this guy a striker or attacking mid?? Lol

Is he playing as a striker regularly? Maybe we don't want a number 10 but a 9.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

He's like a number 9/number 10 hybrid. A bit like Rooney for example. He has so many goals and assists this season and has the potential of a really world class player.

Funny video, this and what an insane goal! van Persie-esque.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

He is good, no doubt, esp when it comes to scoring and assisting he is more consistent than e.b. Oscar, but eh also plays in a much worse league in a team that plays for him. Surely there is a reason, he has never played for Brazil

I don't buy this league strength garbage, his technique is fucking off the charts! That will get him through any league.
